Movie Reviews of Women In Film
Movie Review: Odd...interesting...hard to explain
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok you've got 3 women. That's it. The flick alternates between each of them and the camera in a series of monologues that are like diary entries...sort of. There's a Producer (beverly)whose entries are headed to a book publisher. A massage therapist (Portia) who believes she can steal energy from her Hollywood clients, whose entries are part of a book there is no publisher for. And a casting director whose entries are a combination of letters to her newborn blind son and letters to Holly Hunter (her son's godmother).
The thing is that there is a lot of movie references and it's more of an art movie than a movie with a plot. There is no interaction between the three or between them and anyone else that is seen.
However, a few times in the film you find that they are connected to each other in obscure ways. For instance, Portia sets out to seduce a man, who turns out to be the husband of the casting director. And there is a twisted connection of all three of them with a psychiatrist.
It's a flick that is interesting for the first 30 mins. At an hour, you notice the clock and realize there is about 45 minutes more of this that you will have to sit through. Then at an hour and 15, you find yourself reluctant to turn it off, just because you need closure with these women and with this bizarre sequence of events.
It's not terrible...the three women starring in this flick make that impossible. But there are just some things you never really need to see (like Portia on the toilet).
I say 3 stars, only because if you are in the mood for something like this flick, you might really enjoy it. But if you're not prepared or in the mood, it would be very easy to become bored or fall asleep.
